FRAMINGHAM, MA—Superintendent Dr. Robert Tremblay announced his recommendation of Lincoln Lynch IV for the position of Executive Director of Finance and Operations, effective July 1. This recommendation will be made to the School Committee for its approval on June 6, according to an announcement from the public schools.

I’m grateful for the opportunity that Superintendent Tremblay has given me and I look forward to joining the leadership team in July.”

“Lincoln’s experience and approach during the interview process proved from the beginning that he would be a tremendous asset to our school district as we continue to bring the District’s Strategic Plan to life,” said Tremblay in a statement. “His financial prowess and ability to respond to complex tasks and forecast a nuanced budget as evidenced during the multi-hour, task-based element of the second round interview process coupled with his personable demeanor and positive energy seemed to make him a perfect fit for our team!”
